Overview

Application Performance Monitor monitors applications across multiple devices, servers, and systems, providing performance statistics and overall application health, while alerting on performance degradation and potential problems before they result in service outages. APM helps IT organizations measure and guarantee Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and assists in pinpointing application performance bottlenecks and points of failure. For more information, see Getting Started with APM and the Ipswitch Application Performance Monitor Getting Started Guide.

Note: APM is available with WhatsUp Gold Premium Edition only. To update your license, visit the Customer Portal.

Each application monitored by APM is comprised of a collection of individual components as defined in the application profile. This application profile is then applied to a monitored device, creating an application instance. See Learning about APM terminology.

  • Cisco Unified Communications Manager
  • Microsoft Windows Server
